Sharon, 51, has been appointed to develop the affiliate network that provides referrals to The Debt Advisor. Launched in 2008, the affiliate network allows IFAs, brokers and other professional services to offer non-lending solutions to their clients.
Previously, Sharon spent six years as a sales manager at Stockport-based Johnson Reed Business Finance, where she specialised in tailoring asset finance solutions for businesses. Prior to that she gained significant experience working in the banking and leasing sectors.
Explaining her motivation for choosing The Debt Advisor, Sharon explained:
“The Debt Advisor’s affiliate network has already proved very successful and I will apply my specialist financial skills and knowledge to help it grow further and realise its true potential. The Debt Advisor and The Business Debt Advisor are well known for their passion in helping individuals and businesses get back on their financial feet and I am confident that my excellent listening and networking skills will complement the business.”
Managing director, Bev Budsworth, added:
“I have known Sharon for a number of years through our relationship with Johnson Reed. She has a wonderful warm and caring personality that will be a perfect match with our business.
“She has excellent knowledge and skills of the finance industry but, more importantly, understands the concerns and needs of SMEs when it comes to corporate funding – she is a real asset to the team.”
Sharon lives with her husband and two children in Stockport and enjoys many forms of keeping fit, including running, cycling and dancing.
